Overview of dates for course registration for all UvA degree programmes

Preparation

Step 0: Enrol on your degree programme in Studielink

Course registration commences each academic year with a request to enrol (or re-enrol) on your degree programme in Studielink. You will need your DigiD to do so. After enrolment it can take up to 48 hours before you can register for courses. You will not be required to pay at this stage.

Step 1: Select your courses

Go to the Course Catalogue, find your degree programme and select the courses you want to follow.

Step 2: Add your chosen courses to the Planner

Go to uva.nl/courseregistration, find your courses and click on ‘Add course’.

Step 3: Check your timetable and select your preferred tutorials

Go to the Planner tab and check your courses’ timetable under ‘Open Timetable’. Select your preferred tutorial groups. Make sure that there is no overlap in your timetable between tutorials, lectures, exams, and resits.

During course registration

Step 4: Complete the course registration

As soon as the course registration opens: Go to the Planner tab, check the boxes for the tutorials (WG) you wish to follow, click on ‘Register’, then click on ‘OK’. You can always find all your valid course registrations under the ‘Overview of Registrations’ tab.

To save your timetable showing only the courses you have registered for, you need to do the following:

1. Go to rooster.uva.nl and log in with your UvANet ID.
2. Add your courses via the option ‘Add timetable’.
3. On the right side of the page, use the option ‘Filter activities’ to refine your schedule by selecting the relevant activities, such as exams, tutorial groups, and lectures.
4. After you have done this for all courses, your personal schedule will be visible.
5. You can synchronise your personal timetable with your mobile phone by clicking on the ‘link calendar’ button (icon featuring two arrows). This will ensure that your own timetable always remains up to date in the event of there being any timetable changes.

• You can deregister from your courses via uva.nl/courseregistration. Go to the tab ‘Overview of Registrations’, select the course, click on ‘Deregister’, then click on ‘OK’. You can deregister for courses up until the end of the first week of classes in the new period.
• Deregister for courses that you don’t want to attend. If you have a course registration and you don’t attend the course, you will receive a NA registration (‘non-attendance’). The NA is not a grade and therefore will not appear on your transcript, but it can override a previously obtained grade for the same course. In addition, when you don’t attend a course and don’t deregister for it, you are also taking the spot from another student who would like to participate in that course.
